I just feel like there hasn’t been enough time away from all this other stuff and into this new world or sort of big world that it hasn’t worn off yet.
Mike Lowry quote on time
Basically, I believe the world is a jungle, and if it’s not a bit of a jungle in the home, a child cannot possibly be fit to enter the outside world"
I believe the world is a jungle | Bette Davis
The acknowledged legislators of the world take the world as given. They dislike mysteries, for mysteries cannot be coded, or legislated, and wonder cannot be made into law. And so these legislators police the accepted frontiers of things.
Ben Okri Quote | The acknowledged legislators of the world
Call the world if you please "the vale of soul-making." Then you will find out the use of the world.
John Keats | The use of the world
Every person takes the limits of their own field of vision for the limits of the world.
Arthur Schopenhauer | Vision, World
In this dirty minded world, you are either someone’s wife or someone’s whore. And if you’re not either people think there is something wrong with you….but there is nothing wrong with me.
John Irving | dirty minded world
What must be the nature of the world… if human beings are able to introduce changes into it?
Paul Ricoeur | Nature, World
If you can approach the world’s complexities, both its glories and its horrors, with an attitude of humble curiosity, acknowledging that however deeply you have seen, you have only just scratched the surface, you will find worlds within worlds, beauties you could not heretofore imagine, and your own mundane preoccupations will shrink to proper size, not all that important in the greater scheme of things.
Daniel C. Dennett – the world’s complexities
Everything is connected with everything else. In the spiritual world, those connections become visible. But in the physical world, we only glimpse the connections in the clues given to us through coincidence.
Deepak Chopra – Connection, World
It is seldom that the miserable of the world can help regarding their misery as a wrong inflicted by those who are less miserable.
George Eliot – Misery, World
The world embarrasses me, and I cannot dream that this watch exists and has no watchmaker.
Voltaire – Creation, World
This world is but a canvas for our imagination.
Henry David Thoreau – World, Imagination
Thanks to his complex convictions, made strong with the forces of animus and anima, the alchemist believes he is seizing the soul of the world, participating in the soul of the world. Thus, from the world to the man, alchemy is a problem of souls.
Gaston Bachelard – Soul, World
The world is for thousands a freak show; the images flicker past and vanish; the impressions remain flat and unconnected in the soul. Thus they are easily led by the opinions of others, are content to let their impressions be shuffled and rearranged and evaluated differently.
Goethe – World, Impression
The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers and cities; but to know someone who thinks and feels with us, and who, though distant is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden.
